Popis: MauG is a diheme enzyme that utilizes two covalently bound c-type heme centers. We report here step-wise oxidations of a synthetic analogue of MauG in which two heme centers are bridged covalently through a flexible linker containing a pyrrole moiety. One- and two-electron oxidations produce monocation radical and dication diradical intermediates, respectively, which, being highly reactive, undergo spontaneous intramolecular rearrangement involving the pyrrole bridge itself to form indolizinium-fused chlorin-porphyrin and spiro-porphyrinato heterodimers. Unlike in MauG, where the two oxidizing equivalents produce the bis-FeIV redox state, the synthetic analogue of the same, however, stabilizes two ferric hemes, each coupled with a porphyrin π-cation radical. The present study highlights the possible role played by the bridge in the electronic communication.
